I mean, really Mel. You need to have the teacher stuffing cock into the boy's face against his will, holding him down under his weight, while going over the speech about volume and subtlety. Obviously. There have to be tears and semen, Mel.
Honestly, I thought if you wanted it to be more overt, the teacher placing his hand on the side of Gibson's neck should be enough. That's one of those non-explicit erogenous zones. You don't have to be shagging somebody to touch their neck casually like that, but if you're not, you'd damn well better be related.
The fact that you forced your teacher to confront the idea that a person can be skilled in one way while terribly flawed in another was good. :) It's too bad that he was turned off by it... especially since I suppose he's the one you need to please to do well on the assignment. :) It's hard to challenge people's mindsets when they already have a clear idea of what they want and don't want out of a piece... it took until, what, the 70s? before anyone could pull off a superhero who was kind of a screwup when he wasn't busy being heroic, because most of the superhero comic audience at the time was trying to escape from their own screwedupness, rather than confront it in any meaningful way...
>_< I think you've got exactly the right ideas, and that your prof & classmates are dumb. Not every abuse goes down like the tee-vee shows us via To Catch a Predator! Long-term abuse is way more about emotional control than sexuality -- and a simple expression of (unwelcome) familiarity like a touch on the shoulder is WAY more controlling than cock-grabbing. And if a teacher did anything overt in front of other students, he'd probably be reported & fired!
Grar. Misconceptions about abuse & abusers totally rankle me.
i know. im not like an expert or anything but the subtleties of being taken advantage of (in which i have middle-level skills) are all under the radar.
Bravo on sticking to your guns, even though your prof wasn't on the same page. Based on what you wrote here, I completely agree with your side. The prof needs to realize that subtlety touches the reader more deeply. In your face subjects tend to remove the reader from the story.
yeah, cock in my face removes me from the story a bit too.
i think he KNOWS that, i think, i don' t know, something wasn't communicated. Anyway, the chorus will be happy to hear that we're not moving beyond a healthy neck-stroking in the script.
